From the recording Water
I can’t dismiss you so easily. You telling me, “Just tell me if you want me to go,” is really kind of low. Of course I don’t want you to go, but even if you aren’t physically here, you would still be on my mind. I hate the fact that someone has so much power over me, that I have given someone that much power over me.
I hoped you would find me…
“I can’t get him to wake.”
More than this, I won’t say anything about the thoughts that inspired this song.
Lyrics
Suddenly I know your faceI’ve traced it line by linebut every time it fades away Suddenly it’s not the sameYou’re always on my mindand quietly, I hear you say “What do you know,it’s time to say good-bye,so just tell me ifyou want me to go.” Just say whenI’ve nothing else to offerWill this do? Suddenly I’m out of faithBut hope may do just fineUntil I believe again Suddenly I went and theywill not find me in timeand frantically, I hear them say, “Red lights,I can’t get him to wake.I swear that he wasfine just hours ago.” Just say whenI’ve nothing else to offerWill this do? Suddenly it’s not the sameyou’re always on my mind
